Summary
A cropmark of a ring ditch, possibly relating to a round barrow of Bronze Age date, is visible on aerial photographs. The ring ditch has a slightly sub-circular plan with a narrow ditch and an external diameter of 21m. It is likely that this ring ditch is of Bronze Age date and that it relates to a round barrow. It is located on a gentle southwest facing slope at approximately 22m OD. Cropmarks of two other ring ditches of probable round barrows are present 130m to the east (NHER 17481) and 156m to the west (NHER 44986).
